One True God There is one true God has revealed Himself as the eternally self-existent "I AM," the Creator of heaven and earth and the Redeemer of mankind. He is god in three persons (trinity) as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6:4 ) (Isaiah 43:10,11) (Matthew 28:19) (Luke 3:22) The Bible We believe that the Bible is the Word of God, divinely inspired; that it contains no errors and preserved by God for us; that it is authoritative for this church and each of us for every age.Salvation Through Jesus ChristSalvation is deliverance from spiritual death and the enslavement of sin. God gives salvation to all who believe and accept his forgiveness. Mankind’s only hope of redemption from the sin of the world is through the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son. The blood that was shed as Jesus died on the cross. The account of the crucifixion of Jesus is found in the following scripture: Matthew (chapter 27), Mark (chapter 15), Luke (chapter 23), and John (chapter 19). (Luke 24:47; John 3:3,16,17; Rom. 8:16; 10:13-15; Ephesians 2:8,9; 4:24; Titus 2:11-12; 3:5-7)
Divine HealingDivine healing is an integral part of the gospel. Deliverance from sickness is provided for in the atonement, and is the privilege of all believers. (Isa. 53:4,5; Matt. 8:16,17; James 5:14-16)
Baptism in the Holy SpiritAll believers are entitled to the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and therefore should expect and earnestly seek the promise of the Father, according to the command of our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the normal experience of all believers in the early Christian church. It also provides believers with specific spiritual gifts for more effective ministry. The baptism of Christians in the Holy Spirit is accompanied by the initial physical sign of speaking in other tongues (unknown languages) as the Spirit of God gives them utterance. (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4,8; 2:4; 8:12-17; 10:44-46; 11:14-16; 15:7-9; 1 Cor. 12:1-31)
The Second Coming of ChristAll Christians who have not yet died will be raptured or caught up with them, to be with the Lord. Then Christians of all ages will live with God forever. The scriptural truth of the Lord’s soon return is "the blessed hope". (Romans 8:23; 1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17; Titus 2:13)
The Ordinances of the ChurchBaptism in WaterBaptism by immersion is commanded by the Scriptures. All who repent and believe on Christ as Savior and Lord are to be baptized. Thus they declare to the world that they have died with Christ and that they also have been raised with Him to walk in newness of life. (Matthew 28:19) (Mark 16:16) (Acts 10:47,48) (Romans 6:4) Holy CommunionThe Lord's Supper, consisting of the elements --bread and the fruit of the vine-- is the symbol expressing our sharing the divine nature of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:4 ), a memorial of his suffering and death (1 Corinthians 11:26), and a prophecy of His second coming (1 Corinthians 11:26), and is enjoined on all believers "till He come!" |
